Banking hub set to open at town’s former Halifax branch
Wakefield Council has approved proposals for the facility at the town’s former Halifax branch, on High Street.
The application was submitted on behalf of Cash Access UK Limited.
The not-for-profit organisation was set up by a number of UK banks and building societies.
It enables consumers and small businesses owners to access basic banking services, including accessing and depositing cash.
The scheme includes installing a cash machine at the front of the premises and putting up new signage.
A council planning officer said: “The applicant site is currently vacant. Based on planning history and historical images, it is noted that the site has previously operated as a bank.
“The proposed development is considered acceptable with regards to its location, design, appearance, and impact upon amenity.”
